    2006-2009 was a terrible time for (C)RPGs. Interplay and Troika were no more. Obsidian only had developed Kotor 2 and Mask of the Betrayer at this point. Larian Studios was still seen as some 2-bit studio with rough gems at best. Meanwhile, the Bioware formula was cemented around this time, and the inferior spiritual successor of System Shock was released. The most notable (C)RPGs that hit the gaming cultural landscape were Oblivion and Oblivion with Guns. And it was during that time when the infamous horse armor DLC was released, a harbinger of things to come.
